tavm Review of Wholly Moses!

Wholly Moses! (1980)

Dudley Moore and his fellow comics make Wholly Moses! worth a look

[6/10 · 19 February 2014]

After 34 years of only knowing about this movie and some negative reviews it got, I finally got from Netflix Wholly Moses! Dudley Moore stars as both a tourist and as Herschel, a brother-in-law to Moses. Yes, you read that right. Larraine Newman is another tourist and Herschel's wife Zerelda in the ancient scenes. James Coco is the father of Herschel. Then there are cameos by various comics like Dom DeLuise, John Ritter, Richard Pryor, Paul Sand, Madeline Kahn, oh, and dramatic actor John Houseman also appears. I'll just now say that I found the whole thing highly amusing, if not completely hilarious, and wasn't as bad as I'd feared it'd be. So on that note, I say Wholly Moses! is worth a look.
